What are Open Access Workshops?
Following demand, we designed an offer for individuals to access our standard workshops to support their learning and professional development, as well as for those in smaller organisations who may not have capacity to book our standard team sessions, but would still like to upskill members of staff.
This new option will supplement our existing standard training for teams which can be found on our website
